Christie: Merging

Gov. Chris Christie threw state support behind the successful effort to consolidate the Princetons into one town, but says he isn’t sure how many more town mergers are in the forecast.“This has been an effort in the works since 1953,’’ Christie said of the merger of Princeton Township and Princeton Borough, which is expected to be completed within a year and will reduce the number of New Jersey municipalities to 565. http://on.cpsj.com/vFRvEa
